The Wire, Season 3

McNulty:
I feel like I don't even belong to any world that even f***ing matters.

Kima:
'Cause you're a cop?

McNulty:
Nah, it's not just that. It's like, I went to meet her once; she was in a hotel room on the top floor. I punched the button on the elevator and it doesn't even go there. You gotta have some kind of special key to even get to that special f***ing floor. So I go to the front desk, some sneering f*** calls upstairs, gives me permission to go and get laid. I listen to the shit she talks about and it's the first time in my life I feel like a f***ing doormat. Like anyone else with any smarts would do something else with his life, you know? Earn money, or ... get elected. Like I'm just a breathing machine for my f***ing dick. I'm serious; I'm the smartest asshole in three districts and she looks at me like I'm some stupid f*** playing some stupid game for stupid penny-ante stakes. She f***ing looks through me, Kima.
